AMUSEMENTS.
PPLLARDIS PICTURES. “ON OUR SELECTION.” MONDAY NEXT. Pathetic touches that compel a gulp, irresistibly interesting episodes and native humour lifted from life in great, generous chunks, without a semblance of caricature or burlesque, are claimed to characterise Raymond Longfir’s seven-reel picturisation of Steele Rudd’s famous book, “On Our Selection,” which is set down for showing at the Princess Theatre on Monday night. Clean, wholesome, and absolutely human, the story is almost Dickensian in its blending of fun and pathos. Like “Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patoli,” the characters are true to type, quaint, queer products of the Australian bush without a semblance of caricature or burlesque—ludicrous, yet lovable withal. The management state that this is the most expensive Australian production to date, and they desire that the public shall hot confuse it with “The Hayseeds,” “The Waybacks,” or any previous Australian productions. The box plan is on view at Mclntosh’s.
